Pool Shock Treatment

Keep your pool sanitized and disinfected!

The best way to ensure your pool is sparkling clean and safe for your family is to keep the pool properly shocked. Pool shock treatment contains powdered or granular chlorine that provides a convenient and effective way to make sure your pool water is sanitized and disinfected.

Using pool shock super-chlorinates your water and helps maintain a safe and sanitary swimming environment by oxidizing pollutants. Pollutants make the pool water cloudy. When chlorine in the pool water mixes with nitrogen in sweat, oil and urine—chloramines are formed.

Chloramines often have a strong odor and may irritate eyes and skin and cause respiratory problems. Basically, shocking a pool means adding enough chlorine or other chemicals to eliminate the buildup of chloramines.

Pool Shock Types

  • Doheny’s® Super Shock. A great value, this fast-acting pool shock treatment features 68% calcium-hypochlorite as the active ingredient to help clear the most contaminated pools. Recommended dosage: 1 lb/10,000 gal.
  • Doheny’s® Super Shock Plus. Extra-strength, super-powerful pool shock with 73% calcium hypochlorite for crystal clear pool water. Fast-acting with minimal residue, it effectively kills bacteria, stops algae in its tracks and destroys organic contaminants. Recommended dosage: 1 lb/10,000 gal.
  • Doheny’s® Di-Chlor Chlorinating Shock Di-Chlor. Super-chlorinated pool shock with 56% available chlorine to kill algae and rid your pool of unsightly algae spots. Ideal for use in vinyl lined, fiberglass or colored plaster surface pools. Recommended super-chlorination dosage: 1 lb/10,000 gal.
  • Doheny’s® Oxidizing Shock. Chlorine-free pool shock so you can start swimming in only 15 minutes. The active ingredient, potassium monopersulfate, effectively keeps water clear while controlling contaminants. Safe for all pool surfaces. Recommended dosage: 1 lb/10,000 gal. every 10 days.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SHOCK MY POOL?

For an average size family that uses the pool several times a week, we recommend using pool shock once a week. For a larger family or a pool that’s used more frequently, twice a week is recommended.

To help prevent algae or other contaminants from growing or spreading, an extra shocking is recommended under certain circumstances, such as

  • - Heavy pool usage—such as a block party or pool party
  • - Severe storm, heavy rain, or damaging winds (especially if debris landed in the pool)
  • - Major water level change for any reason
  • - A bowel-related pool accident

To be certain the chemicals work properly when shocking your pool, always add chlorine shock after the sun has gone down. If not, the sun will burn off unstabilized chlorine.

POOL SHOCK SAFETY

Using pool shock is necessary for good maintenance, but it’s important to remember the chemicals used can be extremely dangerous if misused or mishandled. Improperly stored chlorine can explode.

  • - ALWAYS wear protective gear—such as goggles and gloves when handling and dissolving chlorine.
  • - ALWAYS avoid directly breathing from the containers.
  • - NEVER mix pool shocks.
  • - NEVER add shock directly to your water unless package states to do so.
  • - ONLY open one container at a time.
